MACON -- Wyatt Roberts needs no introduction in the state of Mississippi.
The 6-foot, 200-pound right-hander has been a fixture at quarterback for the Louisville High School football team for the past three seasons.

University, a Football Championship Subdivision School.

MILLPORT, Ala. -- If at first you don't succeed, call on your defense and special teams to get things going.
